He could be used for testing funny farm padded wall rooms and those solid stainless steel toilets. Just move him from room to room to see if rooms hold up

Wait that trip... Is it really you?? How has being sober been treating you? Did you go through crazy withdrawals or just decide, fuck that I'm sober now? How did that work? How the fuck have you been?

Oh. Super. I've figured out a truth about life BTW. Staying moving is staying living. So... practice yoga or do stretches or run a lot or do squats or whatever. Anyway, if you stop being able to move, you're fucked.

Despite what people on here believe, life on benefits isn't an easy life in this country. Unemployment benefit barely covers food costs, let alone electricity, gas etc. Also, the ,list for council housing is years long, and someone like green would be near the bottom.

@452,698 (J) > Talk of free housing, TVs etc is bullshit. Why do you think green is forced to sleep on someone else's sofa.
Because he made loud noises at all hours of the night, trashed his flat, and almost burned the whole flatblock down?

Yes, evicted from his flat, and now unable to rent another because he has no income for a deposit, therefore sleeping on someone's sofa.
Why hasn't green got a new flat? After all, according to the geniuses of minichan and the daily mail, free flats and TVs and god knows what else, the council gives these all away like candy, and neerdowells are given fistfuls of cash to do with what they like. Never mind the fact that public housing stock is virtually nil, and people on benefits are forced to use food banks because they can't afford food.
The reason I know all this is that I am on benefits right now, due to illness. The only way I can survive is through fraudulently claiming I am living in rented property when I am not. Even with that, its a struggle. My ESA benefit is the same as unemployment benefit. Its about 70 a week.
I'd like to see anyone here live on that and have a good time doing it.

Okay, please tell me, specifically, which of my claims was wrong:
1. Green had a council flat.
2. Due to misbehavior he lost it.
I never said the UK is a free money welfare paradise or anything.

My initial post was to anon n.
You pointed out why he got evicted, I pointed out why he hasn't got another place yet, and how unlikely he is to get his own accommodation now.
I haven't said you were wrong at all.

I know it's not all peaches and cream, but Green did actually have a nice flat, food in his stomach (or money for unlimited alcohol). I don't know how much Green got in benefits but it seems to have been enough for the bare necessities.
My point is: if Green is homeless now it's a consequence of his own behavior. He had it all and lost it, despite countless warnings and pleading from us and no doubt people IRL.

Yea I wish the anon who is on benefits currently... could explain how Green did so well and he isn't.
Websites say it takes a family and a long wait but Green got a decent place and was always going out to eat and of course the Tesco fluids.

@452,865 (Meta !PARAdoxiHw)
I've told you how much: 71.40 a week, excluding rent. I'd guess he was easily spending 35 a week on alcohol. Gas and elec 10 a week. That leaves about 15 a week for food, clothing, bus fares etc.
Its fair to say he wasnt and isn't saving any money.
You saw how he lived; living a solitary existence in a trash filled flat, drinking every day till he passed out, and only having contact with people through the internet. That ain't a life.
He will struggle to get his own place now. He is years away from getting a council flat, and for sure he got neither his deposit or a reference from his last place.

Except going back when he had a girlfriend and the place was cleaner and the toilet still was intact...For whatever reason he went off the deep end nor do I think he Green is stupid.
@previous (J) > he wasnt in a council flat - it was a private tenancy. He had a landlord.
That part needs clarification because I think when I looked up his address it was listed among the council flat's (could be in error)
And no of course he was not living well. He was off the street and ate daily and he described his diet which was not so great -

There's no way green would have had a council flat; a young single man with no dependents is not a priority. The queue is literally years long. If it was a council flat, the council would have rehomed him in a hostel or something, after eviction.
The list you saw was probably just showing which landlords accept people on benefits as tenants; most don't.

He seems to have no other choice. 90% of my visits to England were for work and in the better weather months. So I have never been there in winter.
Sad to say all I no about winter in England is from a couple of old movies. Christmas Carol and Oliver Twist. Living Life on those streets mean just mean.

They're under no obligation to do this, afaik. Unless he applied for emergency accommodation.

Makes sense. That's still a private tenancy.
> > If it was a council flat, the council would have rehomed him in a hostel or something, after eviction. > They're under no obligation to do this, afaik. Unless he applied for emergency accommodation.
Moot, as I don't believe he was council housed. Thinking about it though, if he was, and the courts decide that green made himself "intentionally homeless" through his actions, they woulkdnt need to rehome.
